so i'm really late in posting this but it's cause i didn't have my camera! :) 2 saturday's ago some friends got together and made invitations for our sweet friend, linda. she's getting married very soon! the talented ruby ellen designed the invites and i just put it together in illustrator. she wanted to do bunting graphics and i remember i saw a super cute bunting invite from mermag. so taking inspiration from the lovely Merrilee, we decided to make actual bunting with japanese tape! (tape also here!) we had about 8 girls in the 'factory line' and we got it done in no time!

here's what we came up with.

the final product, all bundled up.

the factory line. look at all those sewing machines. we actually ended up only using one, hehe.

so this is how it started. i must have cut 1000 little triangles along with 2 other girls. lots of fun!

The cute turquoise three pack of tape, tied in a bow can be found at http://www.ginkopapers.comLove this amazing invitation idea...so inspiring! I think I might use the theme for some Easter invitations I'm planning to make. Maybe used the masking tape to "color" some Easter eggs on the invites.

This is one of the few blogs where I find refreshing new inspirations! These are gorgeous! Again, I wish I had done this for my wedding eons ago. I also love Merrilee. She's such an incredible artist.. to mark my daughter's 5th birthday, I had her portrait commissioned by her and we love it! http://keiramae-aloha.blogspot.com/2009/09/tuesday-mourning-custom-portrait.html

Hi there - I love these - so pretty. I was wondering, though, if you have an tips on sewing on paper with your machine? I tried to make a notebook (personalised moleskine) by sewing scraps of fabric onto the notebook cover but the needle broke. Which needles do you use for sewing on card? Do you adjust the stitch length or tension? Or are moleskine covers just too thick? x
